I would put the Stalker as a Control Driver.. In between Distance and Fairway. Hmm. Sounds like this will be a Fairway for me.. But it is going to vary between Mid and Fairway for most. Either way it feels nice, you say. Sounds good to me.

The TD who's directing my third ace race and second with him as TD opens all the discs and lets us pick weights. It's pretty nice.

If anyone has an extra players pack, I would be interested in buying one. PM me.
So did anyone else start practicing with a warship in preparation for the Ace Race? I figure if I can use Westside's warship I'll be able to use Discraft's version...

I am willing to bet the Warship has more glide than the Ace Race disc will.
I would not put the stalker between fairway and distance personally. its slower and has less distance potential than most fairway drivers.

Well they announced today part of the grand prize will be a super color buzzz.
Is it wrong of me to hope for a smaller turn out now so I have a better chance of winning lol?

So what happens if no one hits an ace? How do they determine the grand prize winner?

Metal hits count as points too.
I disagree. It is a Speed 8 and if you use it correctly can get you good distance. At the very least the same distance as a Teebird, Leopard, etc.
Nothing's wrong with wanting that awesome buzzz lol.
Metal Hits. Last year in my group of 3.. Me and some other guys hit metal once. My disc flew just right of the basket once also. Our group did not contain the winner though :doh:

It's got a rim width of 1.6cm, a wide diameter, and a bead. It's clearly a speed 6. One could even argue it's relatively slow for a speed 6. It's not a bad disc, but it's not as long as a Teebird. If your Stalker is going farther for you, it's because the Teebird is too overstable for you.

Disc Golf Center calls it a speed 8, and on Altitude disc golf it is a 10.
the stalker does have a width of 1.6cm, but the tee bird is only 1.7. I would call that pretty much the same speed.
....wait... what does this have to do with the ace race disc?

From Discraft's Ace Race Website:
The player with the most aces after 36 holes is declared the winner. In case of ties, the number of metal hits is used as a tie breaker. If a tie persists, an approach-length closest to the pin contest is then used to determine the event winner. Scoring formats may vary slightly at TD discretion.
The Teebird flies very well for me. In fact the only Fairway Drivers I carry are a River and Teebird(s). The Stalker overlaps with the Teebird too much and the Teebird is better. The Stalker is not a speed 6. Anyways this disc we are getting is going to be a 6 or 7. Slightly slower then the Stalker.

Each TD can determine how the event is scored.
Most will have very few aces. I use a scoring system that rewards Aces, chains and metal. Most points wins!
If your event has very few aces, you set up the course way too long. It's a whole lot more fun to have lots of people acing and the winner to come in with 3+ aces than to have a winner with 1 ace or a winner decided by metal hits.

True! I hope they take to actually set my course up well because if they don't it will be a nightmare.
